Ryan Raburn was given a cortisone shot and had his left knee drained after injuring it during Thursday's game.

Raburn underwent arthroscopic surgery last September on the same knee, so it's worrisome that it's bothering him again. However, the Indians are hopeful that he'll be ready to play again on Saturday. Mar 13 - 12:08 PM

The Indians are calling him day-to-day for now, but keep in mind that he underwent arthroscopic surgery last September on the same knee. Assuming he's healthy, Raburn will open 2015 on the Tribe's bench. Mar 12 - 7:10 PM

Ryan Raburn went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI as the Indians fell to the Royals in Cactus League play on Friday in Arizona.

The 33-year-old utilityman drove home two runs with a single off Yordano Ventura in the first inning, giving the Tribe an early 4-1 advantage. He's looking to rebound from an atrocious 2014 season where he slashed just .200/.250/.297 with four homers and 22 RBI in 195 at-bats. Mar 6 - 6:36 PM

Ryan Raburn (knee) will make his Cactus League debut Wednesday.

Raburn underwent arthroscopic surgery last September to repair a tear in his left lateral meniscus, but he entered spring training without any restrictions.

Raburn underwent arthroscopic surgery last September to repair a tear in his left lateral meniscus, but he entered spring training without any restrictions. After a big first season with the Indians in 2013, the veteran outfielder batted just 200/.250/.297 with four homers and 22 RBI across 74 games last season.

Raburn underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in mid-September to repair a tear in his lateral meniscus. While he's coming off a putrid 2014 campaign where he slashed a mere .200/.250/.297, he provides versatility and a power bat off the bench against left-handed pitching.

Raburn will need 6-8 weeks of rehab to recover from an operation that repaired a lateral meniscus tear. His normally offseason routine might be delayed a bit, but he'll be fine for spring training. Raburn batted just .200/.250/.297 with four home runs over 74 games for the Tribe this season.

Ryan Raburn needs surgery to repair a damaged meniscus in his left knee.

He's done for the year. Raburn was a pleasant surprise for the Indians last season, but he'll finish 2014 with a disappointing .200/.250/.297 batting line and four home runs over 74 games. The 33-year-old is under contract for $2.5 million next season.

Raburn reported improvement with his left knee Tuesday, but he's set to undergo an MRI and the Indians seem unlikely to push him to return at this point. It would be the end of a disappointing season for Raburn, who has hit just .200/.250/.297 with four homers over 74 games this season.

Raburn left Saturday's game with a hyperextended knee and has yet to experience any improvement. More won't be known about his status until after the exam. "He's still pretty tender, pretty sore," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "We're gonna have [head trainer James Quinlan] talk to [assistant trainer Jeff Desjardins] and see, see if we should get him back to Cleveland. We probably need to get him checked."

Ryan Raburn blasted his fourth home run of the season on Friday as the Indians dropped the opener of their three-game weekend series to the Tigers.

Raburn victimized his former mates with a solo shot in the second inning to open the game's scoring. He also singled in the contest, finishing the night 2-for-3 and raising his season slash to a disappointing .200/.246/.297.

Ryan Raburn went 0-for-3 before being lifted for a pinch-hitter on Wednesday.

Raburn was supposed to get considerable playing time against righties in addition to his duties against lefties, particularly once Carlos Santana won the third base job. However, his slow start, combined with Lonnie Chisenhall's much better one, has changed that in a hurry. He'll likely be limited to starting against southpaws until he heats up and maybe even afterwards.

Zach Walters is expected to miss 3-4 weeks with a strained right oblique.

Walters was expected to begin the season in a reserve role on the Tribe's bench, but instead he'll start the year on the disabled list. He dealt with a similar issue for three weeks during the 2014 season.

He was cleared after testing out his surgically-repaired knees with some sliding drills prior to the game. "He slid on the mat," said Indians manager Terry Francona. "He needed to do that. You can't let a guy get in a game without being able to slide because you never know what can happen." Swisher has made nice progress recently but will begin the season on the disabled list.

Gavin Floyd (elbow) will begin range-of-motion exercises in two weeks.

Floyd had surgery on Tuesday to repair a re-break of the right olecranon bone in his elbow. The Indians are saying only he's out indefinitely at this point, but he's expected to miss the entire season.
